Homestead Overlook

Homestead Overlook provides dramatic panoramic views from a 9,400-foot-high vantage point. From this lookout visitors can see the five peaks of the Henry Mountains to the east, the magenta wedge of the Waterpocket Fold below, and the striated face of the Kaiparowits Plateau to the west. Far off in the distance, the slopes of Navajo Mountain stand as a reminder of Native American history. Above and below the overlook are thick groves of quaking aspen.
